Attending university marks a significant period in many peoples’ lives. This is often a period characterised by greater autonomy in decision making, new social influences and peer networks, exposure to novel stressors, increased levels of independence and, for many university students, the requirement to self-manage their overall lifestyle. Importantly, the transition can result in behaviour and environment changes that can cause adverse health outcomes for many young adults (Deliens et al., 2015). These adverse health outcomes may include poor mental health (Auerbach et al., 2018; Lipson et al., 2019), decreased physical activity [PA](Vella-Zarb & Elgar, 2009), increased sedentary behaviours (Castro et al., 2020), disrupted sleep patterns (Russel et al., 2019), sub-optimal dietary behaviours (Tanton et al., 2015), weight gain (de Vos et al., 2015), elevated alcohol consumption (Wicki et al., 2010) and elevated rates of substance misuse (Bogowicz et al., 2018). Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic may have resulted in a decrease in mental well-being, physical activity engagement and an increase in stress and perceived time spent sedentary in UK university students (Savage et al, 2021). Collectively, the literature suggests that university student populations often have unique health challenges compared to the general population.
